Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Nutzfahrzeugchassis, dessen Lenkgetriebe in Fahrtrichtung gesehen im Bereich der Vorderachsen am Fahrzeug befestigt ist und zur Ausführung der Lenkbetätigung über eine Gelenkwelle mit einem am Fahrerarbeitsplatz angeordneten Lenkrad verbunden ist. Hersteller von Bussen liefern die Chassis der Fahrzeuge an Aufbauhersteller zur Montage der Bussaufbauten. Die Entscheidung, ob das Fahrzeug als Linkslenker- oder als Rechtslenkerfahrzeug ausgeliefert wird, richtet sich also nach der Entscheidung des Aufbauherstellers. Das fahrbare Nutzfahrzeugchassis wird unabhängig von der letztendlichen Bestimmung des Fahrzeugs als Linkslenker oder Rechtslenker an den Aufbauhersteller ausgeliefert. Die Anordnung des Fahrerarbeitsplatzes sowie die Anordnung des Lenkgetriebes quer zur Fahrtrichtung müssen daher vom Aufbauhersteller vor der Auslieferung des Fahrzeugs entsprechend der letztendlichen Verwendung angepasst werden. Ein Umbau des Fahrzeuggerippes zur bestimmungsgemäßen Platzierung des Fahrerarbeitsplatzes auf der linken oder rechten Seite des Fahrzeugs muss durch den Aufbauhersteller durchgeführt werden. Dieser Umbau sowie die Anpassung der Position des Lenkgetriebes an die Position des endgültigen Fahrerarbeitsplatzes sind kosten- und zeitaufwendig.The invention relates to a utility vehicle chassis, the steering gear is seen in the direction of travel in the region of the front axles attached to the vehicle and is connected to the execution of the steering operation via a propeller shaft with a arranged at the driver's workplace steering wheel. Bus manufacturers supply the chassis of the vehicles to bodybuilders for the assembly of the bus bodies. The decision as to whether the vehicle is delivered as a left-hand drive or a right-hand drive vehicle, therefore, depends on the decision of the body manufacturer. The mobile utility vehicle chassis is delivered to the bodybuilder independent of the final destination of the vehicle as left-hand drive or right-hand drive. The arrangement of the driver's workplace and the arrangement of the steering gear transverse to the direction of travel must therefore be adapted by the bodybuilder prior to delivery of the vehicle according to the ultimate use. A conversion of the vehicle tread for the intended placement of the driver's workplace on the left or right side of the vehicle must be carried out by the bodybuilder. This conversion and the adjustment of the position of the steering gear to the position of the final driver's workplace are costly and time consuming.

Die Erfindung stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, ein Nutzfahrzeugchassis zu schaffen, bei dem die Positionierung des vorläufigen Fahrerarbeitsplatzes quer zur Fahrtrichtung und die Anordnung des Lenkgetriebes unabhängig gestellt sind von der bestimmungsgemäßen Anforderung des Fahrzeugs als Rechts- oder als Linkslenker.The invention therefore has as its object to provide a utility vehicle chassis, in which the positioning of the temporary driver's workplace transversely to the direction of travel and the arrangement of the steering gear are set independently of the intended requirement of the vehicle as a right-hand or left-hand drive.

Aus der DE 2920308 ist eine Lenkung für einen Lastkraftwagen oder einen Omnibus mit einem über ein Lenkrad betätigbaren, gegebenenfalls die Lenkkraft verstärkenden Lenkgetriebe bekannt. Darüber hinaus ist eine die Lenkbewegung vom Lenkgetriebe auf die Spurstangen übertragende Lenkstange bekannt, die das im vorderen Bereich des Fahrzeugs angeordnete Lenkgetriebe mit einem mit den Spurstangen in Wirkverbindung stehenden Lenkhebel verbindet. Das Lenkgetriebe ist seitlich neben dem Lenkrad etwa in der Mitte des Fahrzeugs angeordnet und durch das Lenkrad über Getriebemittel betätigbar.From the DE 2920308 is a steering for a truck or a bus with an operable via a steering wheel, possibly the steering force amplifying steering gear known. In addition, a steering movement from the steering gear to the tie rods transmitting steering rod is known, which connects the steering gear arranged in the front region of the vehicle with a standing with the tie rods in operative connection steering lever. The steering gear is arranged laterally next to the steering wheel approximately in the middle of the vehicle and actuated by the steering wheel via transmission means.

Aus der DE2920308 , die den nächstliegenden Stand der Technik bildet, ist ein Nutzfahrzeugchassis bekannt, dessen Lenkgetriebe in Fahrtrichtung gesehen im Bereich einer Vorderachse am Fahrzeug befestigt ist und zur Ausführung der Lenkbetätigung über eine Lenkungsgelenkwelle mit einem Lenkrad verbunden ist, wobei die Lenkungsgelenkwelle zum Ausgleich eines veränderbaren Abstands des Lenkrads zum Lenkgetriebe eine veränderliche Länge aufweist.From the DE2920308 , which forms the closest prior art, a commercial vehicle chassis is known, the steering gear is seen in the direction of travel in the region of a front axle attached to the vehicle and is connected to perform the steering operation via a steering shaft with a steering wheel, the steering shaft to compensate for a variable distance of Steering wheel to the steering gear has a variable length.

Die Erfindung wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Das Lenkgetriebe kann im Bereich der Vorderachse, nämlich in Fahrtrichtung gesehen vor, hinter oder auf dem Achskörper der wenigstens einen Vorderachse befestigt sein. Die Befestigung des Lenkgetriebes erfolgt dabei an solchen Stellen am Fahrzeug, die möglichst in der Nähe des Fahrersitzes liegen. Denkbar ist, das Lenkgetriebe z. B. unterhalb des Bodens der Fahrerkabine zu positionieren. Es ist aber auch jede andere Stelle im Bereich unter dem Fahrerhaus oder im Bereich der Vorderachse vorstellbar. Das Lenkgetriebe des Fahrzeugs, das die Drehbewegung in die Schwenkbewegung der Räder umwandelt ist je nach den räumlichen Gegebenheiten des Fahrzeugs in der Ebene der Rahmenlängsträger oder darunter befestigt. Zur Umsetzung der Drehbewegung des Lenkrades in die Schwenkbewegung der Räder ist das Lenkgetriebe über eine Lenkungsgelenkwelle mit dem Lenkrad verbunden. Unabhängig von der Position des Lenkgetriebes gegenüber den Rahmenlängslenkem kann der provisorische Fahrerarbeitsplatz in Fahrtrichtung gesehen links, mittig zwischen oder rechts neben den Rahmenlängsträgern am Fahrzeug befestigt sein. Die mittige Anordnung des Fahrerarbeitsplatzes zur Überführung des Nutzfahrzeugchassis hat den Vorteil, dass der vorläufige Fahrerarbeitsplatz beim Aufbauhersteller lediglich aus seiner mittigen Anordnung auf dem Chassis entfernt werden muss. Der Aufbauhersteller ist nun frei in seiner Entscheidung, je nach Wunsch des Endabnehmers des Fahrzeugs den Arbeitsplatz des Fahrers in seiner endgültigen Form in Fahrtrichtung gesehen auf der rechten oder linken Seite des Fahrzeugs einzubauen. Allein durch die Veränderung der Länge der Gelenkwelle kann der vorläufige Arbeitsplatz links, mittig zwischen oder rechts neben den Längsträgern positioniert werden, unabhängig davon, wo das Lenkgetriebe in Bezug zu dem Längsträger im Bereich der Vorderachse angeordnet ist. Die Vergrößerung oder Verringerung des Abstandes zwischen dem provisorischen Fahrerarbeitsplatz und dem Lenkgetriebe wird durch die Längenveränderung der Lenkungsgelenkwelle ausgeglichen. In einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Fahrerarbeitsplatz im Bereich der Vorderachse angeordnet. Er kann vor, hinter oder auf einer von mehreren Vorderachsen angeordnet sein.The invention is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. The steering gear can in the front axle, namely seen in the direction of travel, behind or be mounted on the axle of the at least one front axle. The attachment of the steering gear takes place at such locations on the vehicle, which are as close as possible to the driver's seat. It is conceivable that the steering gear z. B. to position below the floor of the cab. But it is also conceivable any other point in the area under the cab or in the front axle. The steering gear of the vehicle, which converts the rotational movement into the pivoting movement of the wheels, is fixed in the plane of the frame side members or below, depending on the spatial conditions of the vehicle. To implement the rotational movement of the steering wheel in the pivotal movement of the wheels, the steering gear is connected via a steering shaft with the steering wheel. Regardless of the position of the steering gear relative to the Rahmenlängslenkem the provisional driver's workplace can be seen in the direction of travel left, centered between or to the right of the frame side members on the vehicle. The central arrangement of the driver's workplace for the transfer of the utility vehicle chassis has the advantage that the temporary driver's workplace at the bodybuilder only needs to be removed from its central location on the chassis. The bodybuilder is now free in its decision to install the rider's workstation in its final form, as seen in the direction of travel, on the right or left side of the vehicle, as the end user wishes. Simply by changing the length of the PTO shaft, the temporary workstation can be positioned on the left, centered between or to the right of the side members, regardless of where the steering gear is located relative to the side member in the region of the front axle. The increase or decrease in the distance between the provisional driver's workplace and the steering gear is compensated by the change in length of the steering shaft. In another embodiment of the invention, the driver's workplace is arranged in the region of the front axle. It can be arranged in front, behind or on one of several front axles.

Das erfindungsgemäße Nutzfahrzeugchassis ist nicht auf eine Fahrgestellkonstruktion beschränkt, die auf Rahmenlängsträgern basiert. Vielmehr können auch beliebige andere Chassisstrukturen Verwendung finden. Denkbar sind z. B. Low-Entry-Fahrzeuge mit Vorderachsträger-Fahrgestellen beziehungsweise Fahrgestellen in Integrallbauweise.The utility vehicle chassis according to the invention is not limited to a chassis construction based on frame rails. Rather, any other chassis structures can be used. Conceivable z. B. low-entry vehicles with front axle chassis or chassis in Integrallbauweise.
